GOING FORWARD

Auburn’s economy is shuffling off the blues its felt since 2008.

Such was the message Auburn Eco-nomic Development Manager Doug Lein recently brought to the members of the Planning and Community De-

velopment Committee. And he justified his optimism with

plenty of positive numbers.According to Lein’s report, “What’s

happening in Auburn, Mid 2013,” to date in 2013 the City has issued 207 permits either for construction of single-family homes or for additions

and alterations to existing structures, having a total valuation of $45 million. That compares favorably to the 145 permits the City had issued by the same time last year, having a total valu-ation of $32.6 million.

In the commercial sector, the City has issued 134 commercial permits to

date in 2013 with a valuation of $92.4 million, compared to 96 to date last year with a total valuation of $12.6 mil-lion, according to the report.

To translate those figures into brick, mortar, wood and glass, here are some of the commercial projects in progress

Union worker Mark Walker from Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group joins the picket line.SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

By SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Striking employees of Auburn’s Belshaw Ad-amatic Bakery Group re-ceived a show of solidarity from their International Association of Machinist union-mates on Tuesday.

Tom Wroblewski, the president of IAW Dis-trict Lodge 751, visited striking members of IAW Local 79, pledging the support of aerospace machinists at Boeing and donating $1,000 to the union’s strike fund.

“We’re here to support you whatever way we can,” Wroblewski said. “There are 30,000 mem-bers (at Boeing) stand-ing right here behind

you, and there are 10,000 retirees we’ll mobilize if we have to.”

The Belshaw employ-ees have been walking the picket line since March 24, when 63 members of IAW Local 79 voted unanimously to strike. Belshaw Adamat-ic manufactures bakery equipment for wholesale and retail bakeries, spe-cializing in donut fryers.

“We tried to negotiate a fair contract with the employer,” IAW President Dan Morgan said. “The employer’s only offer was very weak economically, less than 2 percent. But our major issues are train-ing of employees for pro-motional opportunities

Partridge vows to be different kind of mayorBy ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Deeply entrenched leadership, said Auburn City Councilman John Partridge, relies on itself, resists change, supports and defends its past decisions – and in time tends to forget the very people it is there to serve.

Just the sort of power structure, the Auburn mayoral candidate told supporters at a recent rally at the William Warren Building at Veterans Memorial Park, that he has smacked up against time and again in his four years on the council.

But should Auburn voters elect him mayor this November, Par-tridge said, he would be a mayor of a different stripe: a leader bringing to the job an outsider’s fresh perspective and an unusual

Auburn’s man of sole walks for many friends, many causes.

But Don Stevenson’s lat-est ultra-walk hits closer to home.

The 77-year-old “Pacin’ Parson” plans to complete a 23,000-mile walk to raise money and awareness for

multiple sclerosis, dedicating the effort to his sister, Stephanie Barry, who is fighting the devastating disease.

Stevenson’s oldest brother died from complications of MS at the age of 31.

Stevenson officially begins the journey at 9 a.m. Monday at Game Farm

Park. The public is invited to join him.

“Actually, I have already hoofed 15,000 miles. The upcoming 8,000 miles will bring

the total to 23,000,” Steven-son said.

Stevenson plans to walk 30 miles a day at the park

during the week and follow various trails outside the park on weekends.

Proceeds from the walk benefit the National Mul-tiple Sclerosis Society.

Like her brother the walker, Barry has dedicated her life to ministering to others, especially chil-dren. She is retired from Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. She is the

mother of three daughters and the proud grandmother of several grandchildren.

“One of her favorite pas-times was ‘being a clown’ for children,” Stevenson said.

“I can’t give much for the MS cause,” he added, “but what I do have I wish to give it all, namely my heart and my legs.”

Stevenson, a former Marine, pastor, teacher and truck driver, has walked more than 50,000 miles for various charities since 1998. Long-distance walking became his passion after his retirement in 1994.

willingness to listen to what residents, councilmembers and City staff have to say.

His vision as mayor, he said, would be to see Au-burn continue as a destina-tion and not a pass through. A place to raise and support a family and build a business.

“Simply put, I want to employ a philosophy that my father instilled in me in the mountains surrounding our state. ‘John,’ he said, ‘always leave a place better than you found it.’ My hope is that my children would consider Auburn a place that they would choose to raise their families, as I did mine, as my father did before me, and his father

did before him, right here in Auburn.”

As mayor, Partridge said, his experience and innova-tive ideas would “better serve” the people’s interests, better, presumably, than his opponents in the Aug. 6 primary, Councilmember

Nancy Backus and Iraq war veteran Scot Pondelick, nei-ther of whom he named. The two top vote-getters move on to the Nov. 5 general election.

He said he plans to build his leader-ship on three priorities: the safety of the community; securing funding for roads and walkways to keep people connected and busi-ness flowing; and to make sure “the people’s voice” is heard.

In his term, Partridge said, he has sat on three of the four principal city sub-committees: Planning and Community Development: Municipal Services; and the Finance Committee, which he chairs. He has par-ticipated in two budgetary cycles. And, he said, he has been keen to take advantage of regional and national opportunities to extend his connections and knowledge of legislatives issues con-cerning public safety.

His leadership, he said, led to the formation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society, the City’s new animal shelter on A Street Southeast and Auburn’s procurement of its own animal control officer, after decades of contracting animal control services out to King County.

“In 2010, when the City faced reduced service and

rising costs for animal con-trol services, I realized that there was an opportunity to do what a council member is supposed to do — seeing the need, I created a vision that ultimately formed the AVHS. After the formation of the AVHS, it took just three years for Auburn to have its own animal shelter, its own animal control of-ficer, and a place for people to gather and to serve,” Partridge said.

“I believe we need to maximize our strengths by enabling these public-pri-vate partnerships and mini-mizing our debt and taxes by maximizing priorities to seek efficiencies. I believe that government needs to be big on the citizens and needs to be small on itself. It needs to be about busi-ness, but not in competition with business.”

FederaL proseCutors have charged an Auburn man with receipt and possession of child pornography based on an investigation that began four years ago in the Netherlands.

According to charging papers, Benja-min Gran participated in the now defunct forum for “boylovers,” www.Boylovers.net. Two years ago, according to charging papers, agents caught him with child pornography at his Auburn home.

Gran has not been jailed. The Amsterdam Police Department,

the Dutch National Police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began “Operation Rescue” in 2009, in part to dismantle the online forum for its role in the transmission and dissemination of child pornography throughout the world.

The investigation that snagged Gran focused on a network of 12 people within the forum, all of whom, according to charg-ing papers, were personally involved.

Man killedA 72-year-old Auburn

man was killed last Saturday evening when the pickup truck he was working under fell and crushed him.

According to Auburn police, Milton J. Brower, 10704 SE 304 Way, had recently bought an older Nissan pickup and parked it on his prop-erty. Having placed the vehicle on jack stands, Brower was removing its transmission when the jack system failed. Brower’s daughter found him about 6:45 p.m. and called 911.

Valley Regional Fire Authority firefighters and medics pronounced Brower dead at the scene.

Brower had been living with his daughter and son-in-law.

“The Auburn Police Department is investi-gating the incident, but as of today, we have no reason to believe this was anything other than an unfortunate accident,” said Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman.

This week’s…Police Blotter

Fire & Rescue Blotter

The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 189 requests for service between June 10 and 16, among them the following:

June 10Aid call: 9:57 a.m., (Lakeland Hills). Firefighters helped a man complaining

of stroke-like symptoms and a private ambulance gave him a ride to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center (MAMC) for more evaluation.

June 11 Storage unit fire: 12:25 p.m., (Pa-cific). Firefighters hustling to a smoke investigation near Valentine Road found an illegal burn that had set a nearby storage container ablaze. Firefighters put out the fire, overhauled the con-tainer and turned the scene over to the South King Fire Investigation Task Force.

June 12 Structure fire: 6:56 p.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters and the Kent Fire Authority responded to heavy smoke pouring out of a garage. Initial reports had occupants evacuating and smoke com-ing from the residence and the garage. The homeowner tried to extinguish the fire before the professionals got there and injured himself slightly. Firefight-ers soon knocked down the fire, which never left the garage. The occupants chose to stay with family for the night.

Auburn police responded to the following calls for service, among many others, between June 16 and 17:

June 15Shoplifting: 1:31 p.m., 101 Auburn Way S. A well-pickled man who’d been irritat-ing customers at Safeway and ignoring management’s demand that he leave on his own steam instead dipped his dirty paws into the deli soup and helped him-self to some chicken strips. For all these things, police busted him.

June 16Vandalism: 5:25 p.m., 808 9th St. SE. Police kept their usual mum about the details of a vandalism, but a close inves-tigation revealed the truth: that yokels

unknown had victimized the Auburn Senior Center, chucking rocks through a window, tagging the patio windows with pink paint.

Obstructing justice: 8:08 a.m., 220 block of 6th Street Southeast. Police arrested a woman for fibbing about who she was to a uniformed police officer.

McForgery: 2:20 p.m., 1531 Auburn Way N. A man tried to pass a bogus bill at McDonalds, was caught, and police busted him.

June 17Animal problem: 9:40 p.m., 4000 Auburn Way S. A stray and aggressive dog on the loose on the Muckleshoot firework stands lot and allegedly up to no good was chased back to its owner’s property and taken inside. Auburn’s Animal Control Officer issued infractions to the owner.

Theft: 4 p.m., 2300 Emerald Downs Drive NW. Somebody swiped a man’s prescrip-

tion medication from his truck, parked on the Emerald Downs lot.

Would-be auto thief: 11 a.m., 800 block of Pike Street Northeast. Somebody tried to steal a vehicle and damaged its ignition.

Kittens: 1:10 p.m., 30000 block of 51st Court South. Somebody found a litter of kittens without their mama, which the finder said he or she had not seen recently. Auburn’s Animal Control Officer impounded the kittens and brought them to the Auburn Valley Humane Society for safe keeping.

Theft: Overnight, 1200 block of 26th Street Southeast. Somebody broke out the rear door window of a man’s van and stole a trimmer and leaf blower critical to his landscaping business.

Shoplifting: 1 p.m., 1101 Supermall Way SW. Somebody stole a box contain-ing four snack rolls from an undisclosed business.

Voters must decide to blot out Sun

The words read like prophecy.Just hours after losing his seat to Pacific

Mayor Cy Sun in the November 2011 gen-eral election, Richard Hildreth released this statement:

“Although I’m disappointed in losing to negative campaigning and the deception of our citizens, I know that as the truth comes out, the public will see the mistake that was made. I pray that mistake does not prove fatal to our city.”

It nearly did.In less than two years in office, Sun – un-

der the guise of fighting corruption he claims is rampant in city government – put Pacific on life support by dismantling city staff, fighting an ongoing battle that has decimated the City’s police force and instigated the loss of the City’s liability insurance by his refusal

to adequately staff vacant department head posi-tions at City Hall.

Although the City was able to secure costlier, less comprehensive li-ability insurance at the last minute, the crisis forced the City Council

to consider two stark options: ceasing to ex-ist as a municipality, or annex into neighbor-ing Auburn.

Pacific voters will have the chance to de-cide Tuesday whether they made a mistake and if the damage done to the City under Sun’s administration is great enough to recall him, ending his term as mayor less than two years in.

For months now the controversial mayor and the Committee to Recall Cy Sun have fought a pitched battle for the hearts, minds and votes of Pacific residents. And much like the campaign in 2011 that swept Sun, a write-in candidate, into office, negativity has been the main focus of the battle.

In 2011, Sun benefited from a smear campaign – anybodybutrich.com – that fo-cused on Hildreth’s alleged misuse of a City-issued credit card. The website, financially backed by local business-man Jerry Eck, had claimed Hildreth misused the card for his personal use and to advance his career in emergency management.

Seizing on the wave of ill will toward Hildreth, Sun ran on a campaign that claimed the city administration was corrupt and he was the man to set the ship right.

Sun won the election with 470 votes

Partridge: the catalyst behind humane society

Contrary to former Coun-cilmember Gene Cerino’s letter (“Setting the record straight on AVHS”, Auburn Reporter, June 14), I was on the City Council when John Partridge chose to bring together a group of local veterinarians to form a valley humane society.

From day one, I supported John’s efforts regarding animal control and safety. As a mem-ber of the Municipal Services Committee, Mr. Partridge had every reason to be aware of the City’s needs for respon-sible animal control. Because of his sincere concern for the safety of residents, pets and, for that matter, all animals, he was instrumental in bringing together dedicated, profes-sional and volunteer people to concentrate on the formation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society.

I personally received scores of emails from citizens elated at the prospects of a new “animal shelter” in Auburn. I would remind taxpayers that what we do as a community for animals and their owners is a welcome addition to Auburn.

As for John Partridge “show-ing the traits of a politician who wants to take credit for things that they had nothing to do with” simply to get elected: John Partridge was not solely responsible for the forma-tion of the AVHS, but he was certainly the catalyst.

As a former councilmem-ber who worked with Mr. Partridge for two years, I can honestly say that taking credit for something that he has not really done is something John Partridge would not do. Con-scientious elected official is the John Partridge I know.– Virginia Haugen

Kids will be kidsAt Fourth and M Street

Southeast, the City is work-ing hard to improve traffic flow and ease congestion in our community. Meanwhile, neighborhood kids are working hard at vandalizing the freshly poured concrete.

As a resident and taxpayer in the neighborhood, I was pleased with the idea of hav-ing new sidewalks poured in my neighborhood. The night after Scarsella Bros. had the

concrete sidewalks poured, presumed kids preceded to write whatever they wanted in the fresh concrete. I witnessed a kid walk around the “side-walk closed” sign and walk a good 15 feet down the sidewalk before he trampled out of it and wiped the concrete off his shoes. Someone else decided they would ride their bike through it.

The other day a crew of several workers spent hours patching up and repairing the damage the vandals caused. As frustrating as it is for me to see this happen, I feel helpless.

Kids will be kids. Maybe someday, once they start paying taxes, they will realize what all this damage costs. A sign or road cone isn’t going to stop these kids from vandal-izing our sidewalks. We need to prevent them access to the tempting wet concrete.

Scarsella, wouldn’t it have been much cheaper to rent a fence and encase the sidewalk rather than pay a full crew a days wages to patch the con-crete? Hire a security guard?

By the way, the bicycle tire tracks are still there. I guess us taxpayers are stuck with those. Thanks.– Ryan Georgi

...HealtHy living

Ninety percent of people experience back pain at some point during their lives. Back pain is one of the top-10 reasons people go in to see their primary care doctor.

Back pain is a symptom; the cause of the pain can be wide and varied. Back pain can originate from injury or disease involving the bones, disc, muscle, nerves, ligaments and/or tendons in the sur-rounding area.

In addition, non-muscle-skeletal structures can cause or contribute to back discomfort. Examples may

include kidney stone or infection, abdominal aneu-rysm or ulcer.

Improper body mechanics are a very common cause of lower back pain. A sim-ple split-second wrong push, pull, twist or lift can render even the most fit individual

temporarily incapacitated. The good news is that

for 50 percent of the people who develop back pain, the problem resolves itself within one week, regardless if you see a doctor not.

Tips to alleviate back pain:1. Ice or heat – use

whichever is more comfort-able. Typically an ice pack helps to decrease swelling, and a heating pad helps to dilate vessels and relax muscles. Use the “20/20 rule:” 20 minutes on, 20

minutes off, and repeat several times a day.

2. Consider an anti-inflammatory (i.e., Ibu-profen or Advil, Aleve). These medications decrease inflammation and therefore decrease pain. Take them with food to avoid develop-ing an ulcer. Do not exceed more than three tablets every eight hours, unless directed by a doctor. And do not take for longer than 14 days, unless directed by a doctor.

3. Tylenol (acetamino-phen) can be used with anti-inflammatoryies to de-crease pain. Do not exceed more than eight tablets in a day for three to five days, unless directed by a doctor.

4. Glucosamine/Chon-droiten 1,500 milligrams (mgs) in a divided dose can decrease joint pain. Do not take with medication if you are allergic to Sulfa drugs.

5. Omega-3 fish oil 2,000 to 4,000 mgs a day helps

decrease inflammation, thereby reducing pain.

6. Topical: Topricin (a topical anti-inflammatory cream) may be applied to the area of pain up to three to four times a day.

7. Walking and gentle stretching.

8. Consider massage therapy.

If your back pain does not get better within one to two weeks, or your symp-toms increase, be sure to see your doctor.

10 years on our streets. I find myself a pas-senger now and did not realize I was using the steering wheel for a handle to hang on with. I can barely walk from the jousting after the drive.

The corner of Tacoma Boulevard and Third is referred to as “Roller Coaster Corner.” Rather than fix the streets, maybe we could just get new signs such as “Grand Canyon Ave” or “Enter at Your Own Risk Blvd.” You get the idea.

I suggest the City Council appoint one person to call the lawyer every day instead of all seven. That would save enough to fix the streets. Seems strange since the City Council is in charge of the money and they drive the same roads. The council’s lawyer just nipped us for over a quarter of a million dollars, so maybe that is a good place to start.

We should be able to save on patrolling also. Unless it is one of the main streets, you would have to wear a white helmet and have num-bers on the side of your car to go fast enough to break the speed limit without ruining your vehicle. Unless of course you ride Brahma bulls for a living.

The silver lining is this. The 15-year-olds learning to drive don’t dare hit the shoulder of the road, or I take the new tire out of their al-

lowance. And remember, don’t drink anything hot if you are a passenger in a car in Pacific.

I am not putting the blame anywhere be-cause nothing around here is anybody’s fault. Trying to pin these roads on anybody is like trying to pinch a watermelon seed. I am just pointing out for this town to grow and prosper, the roads might be brought up to the 21st century.– Lloyd Rector

Why should we pay taxes or follow the law?

The state is implementing the pot bill against federal law. The courts are silent.

I called the offices of Sens. Murray and Cantwell about the pot bill. They said it is un-der study and they would call me back shortly. I am still waiting for an answer.

Immigration enforcement is willy-nilly. The state and feds waste money. If I don’t pay my taxes, I get fined. If the state doesn’t get its job done on time, it gets overtime pay. No penalty.

They say there’s not enough money for the troops’ medical problems. However, we have tons of money on foreign aid payable to places that hate us. It makes no sense to me.– Jim Koubele

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] to Hildreth’s 385, with Councilmember John Jones receiving 302 votes of the 1,205 votes cast in the election.

Although the recall election also focuses on allegations of corrup-tion, the key difference between it and the 2011 race lies in the actual documentation of that corruption.

Despite Sun’s nebu-lous claims of corrup-tion during Hildreth’s administration, the Washington State Audi-tor in February declared the City’s books clean.

“The results of our tests disclosed no instances of

noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards,” the report concluded.

In addition, an outside investigation cleared Hildreth of any charges in “credit card-gate”.

The ineptitude of Sun’s administration, however, has been well documented by local newspapers, TV stations and in courts in Pierce and King counties.

On Tuesday, 2,943 Pacific voters will decide whether Sun should be recalled because of alleged malfeasance, misfeasance and viola-tion of his oath of office

in two instances: using the Pacific Police De-partment as his personal police force by directing it to investigate a matter clearly out of its jurisdic-tion; and jeopardizing the City’s insurance coverage by not filling vacant department heads.

Unlike the claims made against Hildreth in 2011, the evidence against Sun is over-whelming and well documented.

Now, citizens in Pacific will have chance to right the wrong done in 2011 by making a well-informed, educated decision on the future of their city.

So get out and vote.

• Green River Community College Trades and Industry building: $10.5 million; ribbon cutting 2014.

• Outlet Collection: $34 mil-lion upgrade by Glimcher of the former SuperMall; ribbon cutting October 2013.

And the numbers listed above are only going to get better, said Jeff Tate, Auburn’s interim direc-tor of Planning and Community Development.

“These are for permits that are issued. We have a couple hundred million dollars com-mercial valuation in process now, or that we know is com-ing in the door by the end of the month,” Tate said.

Lein said Auburn is seeing many spaces that had been low-value distribution facili-ties undergoing conversion to office space. A prime example is Novinium, which recently turned a 21,000-square-foot

building with perhaps 10 people working in it into a structure housing 42 electrical engineers having an average salary of $80,000 a year.

“When we looked at the impact of those salaries to the taxable, collectable sales, it’s just amazing,” Lein said. “And you can see why we are running at a rate of three times the state on taxable sales. The state just an-nounced a 5.1 percent increase, and they’re real happy about that in Olympia. We’re running just south of 17 percent.”

And when you talk about improvements to existing facilities, “that’s job retention,” Tate said. “So when someone spends a million dollars on an existing warehousing, distribu-tion center or manufacturing building … that’s not just a million dollar construc-tion valuation, or anything that goes on the tax rolls, it’s keeping those jobs here. It’s a commitment.”

“I get excited about this be-cause it’s directly transferable into jobs in our city,” said City Councilman John Holman, “good jobs, getting people back to work.”

[ ECONOMY from page 1 ] and outsourcing work. The employer seems to want to outsource their work rather than train employees.”

The high cost of the company-sponsored health and welfare plan also played into the union’s decision to strike, Morgan said.

“We offered them an opportunity to participate in (the union’s) welfare trust, which would save the employer over $18,000 a month for the entire bargaining unit,” he said. “They think that’s a good idea as long as they get to keep all that savings. They offered us a $1,500 one-time bo-nus for each employee and said they don’t recognize any savings beyond that.”

Now, more than 85 days into the strike, Morgan said the company has hired permanent replacement

workers.“They have said

they’re going to keep them, whatever offer they give us,” Morgan said. “Our guys would only come back on an ‘as needed’ basis. We voted on a second proposal from the em-ployer on May 10, and it really didn’t matter what was in it, beyond that. It could have had a $10 raise in it, the group was not going to accept any contract where all of them would not go back to work. Even though they had been on strike for 50 days at that point, they voted unanimous-ly against that, which speaks volumes of the solidarity of this group.”

In response to an email request for comment. Belshaw Adamatic released the following statement from President and Chief Executive Officer Roger A. Faw:

“The management

team at Belshaw Ad-amatic Bakery Group sincerely appreciates and respects the inter-est shown by the press regarding the labor dispute we are involved in currently. At this time, we are respectful of the ongoing labor negotiations and do not think it is appropriate for us to discuss the issues on the table. We continue to bargain in good faith in an effort to bring resolution to this dispute.”

Morgan added that he hoped a resolution to the strike would soon be found.

“I hope at the end of the day we can find the common ground,” Morgan said. “This is not a solely economic strike. It contains a lot of work issues that, in my opinion, can be worked out if the em-ployer would see some common sense and some common ground. I think we can find it.”

No one expected much from the Auburn Trojan boys basketball team before the start of the 2012-2013 season.

“The coaches’ poll came out and we were picked to finish seventh in our league,” said head coach Ryan Hansen. “Immediately, there was talk in our locker room from the guys that they felt disrespected. I figured we were better than finish-ing seventh in our league. But I didn’t think we were good enough to be competing for the league title like we did.”

The team responded to the pre-season dis, putting together a 12-4 second-place finish in the South Puget Sound League North 4A and fighting its way into the Wash-ington State 4A regional tourney. There the boys ended their season just one game short of the state 4A tourney with a 16-10 record.

“It definitely put a chip on our shoulder, and we talked about it during the season to stay focused and keep that chip on our shoul-der,” Hansen said.

“It really was a great season. I think in a lot of respects we really did overachieve this season. That speaks a lot to the character of the

guys.”Although quick to credit the

players for their scrappy per-formance against the odds this season, Hansen’s steady hand and consistency in inspiring his players to overachieve this year has earned him the Auburn Reporter Coach of the Year award.

By the time he graduated in 1996 from Cascade High School in Leavenworth, Hansen’s 2,411 career points made him the all-time leading high school scorer

in Washington State history at the time. He still ranks third on the list. Averaging 31 points as a junior, 34 as a senior, he was twice chosen state player of the year. His play at the shooting guard spot earned the 1A Kodiaks a third-place finish in 1994 and a sixth in 1995.

After high school Hansen enrolled at Walla Walla Commu-nity College where he continued to dominate, averaging 33 points

Kyong BarryGrocery Store Worker & Union Member—Auburn

Workers in Seattle now have paid sick days.

But hundreds of thousands of workers in Washington, including our neighborhood grocery stores, do not.

Instead of solving this problem, big national grocery store chains want their workers outside Seattle prohibited from ever getting Paid Sick Days. This is bad for everyone—parents, children, co-workers and our customers.

“I am one of 30,000 union grocery store workers across Puget Sound who serve our customers everyday.

We are on the frontline of food safety. Having paid sick days

allows us to stay at home and care for ourselves or

our family when we are sick. It is not only good for public health and

safety; it is just the right thing to do.”

as a sophomore and becom-ing the school’s all-time leading scorer. His success as a Warrior earned him a spot on the Eastern Washington University roster, where he helped lead the Eagles to a Big Sky Conference title his senior year.

Although he suffered a serious ACL injury just a month after graduating from Eastern, Hansen traveled to South Korea to continue his playing career.

“It didn’t work out, so I came back and had the opportunity to continue to look for playing opportuni-ties or throw my name in the hat for (the Auburn coaching job),” Hansen said. “I didn’t really think I would have a good shot at it because I was 24 years

old with very little coaching experience.”

Yes, Hansen was green, but Auburn Athletic Direc-tor Bob Jones took a chance and hired him for the job in 2003.

“When the opportunity presented itself, it was just too good to pass up,” Han-sen said. “But I had to really think hard about whether I wanted to continue to play or do something I knew I wanted to do, which was be a teacher and a coach.”

Hansen said he threw himself headlong into his new gig immediately, with Jones’ support.

“Bob just kind of let me do my thing,” Hansen said. “He’s always been there to answer questions for me, but he’s never told me how to do things. I really couldn’t ask for a better athletic director.

He’s been great to work with. “I was young and had lots

to learn about managing a program, just about dealing with teenagers and parents,” Hansen said.

Now 11 years in, Hansen has helped make the Trojans a perennial contender in the SPSL 4A, no matter what the preseason polls say. He’s led Auburn to state tourney appearances in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011.

More important, however, he’s transformed the Auburn boys basketball program into more than just a sport — he’s turned into a family.

“Our program is so much

bigger than the head coach,” Hansen said. “Everything works because of the sup-port system and hard work by so many. From my wife working so hard behind the scenes to Tony Callero run-ning my youth program and doing it the right way, to my assistant coaches who work so hard to my administrative staff that is always there to support me, and then finally to the hard work and dedi-cation of my players, who continue to do everything I ask them to. A coach is only as great as the people around him, and I have great people around me.”

on June 27, July 4 and July 11.The clinic features classes

on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Mercerwood Shore Club on Mercer Island.

Themes for each session are Dreaming Big, Here Comes the Nerves, and Overcome Obstacles.

“My story is not a fai-rytale,” Kukors said. “It is a tale of perseverance, belief, hard work and dreams. I know from experience the importance of goal setting and the balance between life and sport. Competing on the greatest athletic stage in the world, I have learned how to keep nerves at bay and what

to do when things don’t go as planned.

“In 2012, I achieved my career long dream of becoming an Olympian and competed in the London Games,” Kukors added. “But I wasn’t born an Olympian. I was just a little girl with a really big dream. And I believed in my dream for so long and worked so hard that it finally came true. And your dreams can too.”

Cost of the clinic is $135 for the three-week session or $45 for individual classes.

Each clinic is limited to 24 participants.

The track’s all-time leader with 11 stakes wins, Noosa Beach recently sustained a minor ankle injury.

The now 7-year-old geld-ing pretty much rewrote the record book while winning consecutive Horse of the Meeting titles in 2010 and 2011. At the pinnacle of his career, Noosa Beach won six consecutive stakes races, including a dominant vic-

tory with Frazier aboard in the 2010 Longacres Mile.

Frazier is officially hang-ing up his riding boots following a 30-year career in which he rode 3,469 winners, including 886 wins and five riding titles at Emerald Downs. The 48-year-old Arkansan was unable to get medical clear-ance after suffering a head injury at the 2010 Fresno meeting.

First post is 4:30 p.m. on July 3, with the annual Fire-works Spectacular sched-uled following the races.
